the Books That If You Had More Than One Life You Would Certainly Also Read But Unfortunately Your Days Are Numbered (alakası yok)

Bi gecenin daha ocağına incir ağacı ekerken ve de interneti bulana lanet ederken şunu buldum. (birazdan gelecek şu). Ama youtube videosu nası eklenir bilmediğimden ancak link verebilicem. Du bakiim, Help'te anlatıyo muymuş.

Amanıııın, becerdim! Vay anasını. Bilgisayar kullanma becerim 4 yaşındakilere yetişiyo galiba. Ne mutlu!

Neyse, İzlediğimizi anladık mı: Amazondan her kitap alışımızda aslında ne kötü bişi yaptığımızı anlatıyor bu video. Amazon ya da diğerleri işte. Pek sevdim ben bunu, çünkü insanlar mütemadiyen kızarlar bana, ee alıversene amazondan, fink fink kitapçı gezeceğine diye. Ama bilader, that's the point! (Bi sonraki paragrafta bu pointe bakıcam, unutma o yüzden bunu) Ha bazen ikinci elini kitapçı gezerek bulmamın imkansız olduğu kitaplar oluyor tabi. Ama onları da şu güzide siteden alıyorum: www.betterworldbooks.com. Şimdi bu site niye güzide? 1- (Parasız doktora öğrencisinin önceliği) Shipping almıyor Amerika içi (dışına da çok az bişi alıyor). 1- (evet 1, yine 1) (Çevresine duyarlı doktora öğrencisinin önceliği) bi kere her alışverişten belli bir yüzde dünyadaki literacy projelerine gidiyor. Sonracııma, olabildiğince az eco-footprint bırakıyolar. Öyle videodaki gibi tek kitaplık kolilerde gelmiyor. 5 kitap olsa bile zarfla geliyor, hemi de carbon neutral zarfla. Yannız Amerika içine bile 3 haftadan önce gelmiyolar, haberiniz ola.

Gelelim fink fink kitapçı gezmeye. Tabi olanca muhteşemliğine rağmen, onun da kötü yanları var. Ben hiç kasmıyım yazmaya, şahane yazılmışı var çünkü: Italo Calvino, Se una Notte D'Inverno Un Viaggiatore (Bir Kış Gecesi Eğer Bir Yolcu). Fekat sadece İngilizcesini buldum internette. Onu yapıştırıyorum. Yapıştırdıktan sonra keyfim olursa çeviririm de belki. Yok be, uzunmuş. Deli miyim ben! Ama çok güzel bir kitapçı yolculuğu tasviridir, böyle keyiften salyalarım akarak okumuştum ilk kez, vay babaniiiii diyerekten. O gün bugündür bi türlü başka Calvino okuyamadım (İtalyadan aldığım italyanca orjinel kitabını okucam, o zamana kadar da okumicam inadım tuttu. Tabi kocaaa Calvino'yu nah okursun italyanca, ibibik!) (Gerçi ek dil yeterlilik sınavında Calvino çevirtiyolarmış bize. Bir hayalin dolaylı da olsa gerçekleşişi sayın seyirciler!) Neyse. İşte burda o sevgili pasaj. Umarım bi okuyanı olur:)

"So, then, you noticed in a newspaper that If on a winter's night a traveler had appeared, the new book by Italo Calvino, who hadn't published for several years. You went to the bookshop and bought the volume. Good for you.

In the shop window you have promptly identified the cover with the title you were looking for. Following this visual trail, you have forced your way through the shop past the thick barricade of Books You Haven't Read, which were frowning at you from the tables and shelves, trying to cow you. But you know you must never allow yourself to be awed, that among them there extend for acres and acres the Books You Needn't Read, the Books Made For Purposes Other Than Reading, Books Read Even Before You Open Them Since They Belong To The Category Of Books Read Before Being Written. And thus you pass the outer girdle of ramparts, but then you are attacked by the infantry of the Books That If You Had More Than One Life You Would Certainly Also Read But Unfortunately Your Days Are Numbered. With a rapid maneuver you bypass them and move into the phalanxes of the Books You Mean To Read But There Are Others You Must Read First, the Books Too Expensive Now And You'll Wait Till They're Remaindered, the Books ditto When They Come Out In Paperback, Books You Can Borrow From Somebody, Books That Everybody's Read So It's As If You Had Read Them, Too. Eluding these assaults, you come up beneath the towers of the fortress, where other troops are holding out:

the Books You've Been Planning To Read For Ages,   

the Books You've Been Hunting For Years Without Success,

the Books Dealing With Something You're Working On At The Moment,

the Books You Want To Own So They'll Be Handy Just In Case,

the Books You Could Put Aside Maybe To Read This Summer,

the Books You Need To Go With Other Books On Your Shelves,

the Books That Fill You With Sudden, Inexplicable Curiosity, Not Easily Justified. 

Now you have been able to reduce the countless embattled troops to an array that is, to be sure, very large but still calculable in a finite number; but this relative relief is then undermined by the ambush of the Books Read Long Ago Which It's Now Time To Reread and the Books You've Always Pretended To Have Read And Now It's Time To Sit Down And Really Read Them.

With a zigzag dash you shake them off and leap straight into the citadel of the New Books Whose Author Or Subject Appeals To You. Even inside this stronghold you can make some breaches in the ranks of the defenders, dividing them into New Books By Authors Or On Subjects Not New (for you or in general) and New Books By Authors Or On Subjects Completely Unknown (at least to you), and defining the attraction they have for you on the basis of your desires and needs for the new and the not new (for the new you seek in the not new and for the not new you seek in the new).

All this simply means that, having rapidly glanced over the titles of the volumes displayed in the bookshop, you have turned toward a stack of If on a winter's night a traveler fresh off the press, you have grasped a copy, and you have carried it to the cashier so that your right to own it can be established."
